Am I the only one who thinks Nintendo could be on to something, think about it, if Nintendo did it the old fashion way (doing the traditional conference), none of the non-core gamer audience wouldn't watch E3 either way. The only way the mass public would know about these E3 announcements is if some media channels share the news like MSN or Today news etc. This is why Xbox E3 keynotes been lacking for the pass few years, because their talking to an audience (casual) who doesn't care about E3.
Nintendo Direct get way more attention and the best part are that its fully under Nintendo control. Sony have their event back in Feb. which got them alot of buzz and now Microsoft with the next Xbox announcement coming May 21th. knowing how crowded and big E3 is, why not have full control of your own event that get plenty of views and if this new approach succeed with high expectation, I hope to see Sony and Microsoft follow.
That's my take on it, what yours?
